Whisper X1,

Hello, friend. You asked "I am NOT a believer that Jesus is/was god. I do believe he is The Mesiah and a very special prophet.....Must I believe he is god for my prayers to the Almighty God be heard and answered?"

I think the real question is, if you are praying to the Almighty God, but you don't believe the Almighty God is Jesus, to whom then are you praying? If Jesus IS God, then certainly you would have to believe this for any prayers to even be heard, as it is written, "He who comes to God must believe that He is." Let me share with you a little of whom the Bible says that Jesus is.

For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given,
and the government shall be upon His shoulder,
and His name shall be called
Wonderful,
Counsellor,
THE MIGHTY GOD,
THE EVERYLASTING FATHER,
the Prince of Peace.
-Isaiah 9:6

In the beginning GOD created the heaven and the earth...
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word WAS GOD;
the Same was in the beginning with God:
ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM,
and without Him was not anything made that was made.
In Him was life and the life was the Light of men,
and the Light shineth in darkness,
and the darkness comprehended it not...
That was the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
he was in the world,
AND THE WORLD WAS MADE BY HIM.
He came unto His own and His own received Him not.
But as many as received Him
to them gave He power to become the sons of God,
even to them that believe on HIS name,
which were born, not of blood, of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of men, but of God.
AND THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US,
and we beheld His glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,
full of grace and truth.
- Genesis 1:1/John 1:1-14

The burden of the Word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord...
I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of
Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplications
AND THEY SHALL LOOK UPON ME WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED
and they shall mourn for Him as one mourneth for His Only Son
and shall be in bitterness for Him as one that is in bitterness for His Firstborn.
THEY PIERCED MY HANDS AND MY FEET.
Behold He cometh with clouds and every eye shall see Him
AND THEY ALSO WHICH PIERCED HIM
and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him.
-Zechariah 12:10/Psalm22:16/Revelation 1:7

That which may be known of God is manifest in them,
for God hath shewed it unto them:
for then invisible things of Him - from the creation of the world -
are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made:
even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse...
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ,
FOR IN HIM DWELLETH ALL
THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY."
-Romans 1:20/Colossians 2:8-9

Jesus said unto them,
"I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life;
no man cometh unto the Father but by Me.
If ye had known Me, ye should have known My Father also,
and from henceforth ye know Him and have seen Him."
And Philip said unto Him,
"Lord, show us the Father and it sufficeth us."
Jesus saith unto him,
"Have I been so long time with you,
and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip?!
He that hath seen Me HATH seen the Father!
So how sayest thou then, "Show us the Father?!"
-John 14:6-9

Then came the Jews round about Him and said unto Him,
"How long dost thou make us to doubt?
If Thou be the Christ [Messiah], tell us plainly!"
And Jesus answered them,
"I told you, and ye believed not!
The works that I do in My Father's name - they bear witness of Me!
But ye believed not because ye are not of My sheep,
as i said unto you. MY sheep hear My voice and they follow Me.
And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out of MY HAND.
My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all:
and no man is able to pluck them out of MY FATHER'S HAND.
I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE."
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.
Jesus answered them,
"Many good works have I shewed you from My Father:
for which of those works do ye stone Me?"
The Jews answered Him, saying,
"For a good deed we stone Thee not -
but for blasphemy, and because Thou, being a man,
MAKEST THYSELF GOD!"
-John 10:24-33

For there are three that bear record in heaven:
The Father, The Word and The Holy Ghost
and these three are one.
- 1 John 5:7

And Thomas said unto [Jesus],
"My Lord, and my God."
John 20:28

When He bringeth the First Begotten into the world He saith,
"Let all the angels of God WORSHIP HIM."
-Hebrews 1:6

[Jesus] hath made us kings and priests
unto GOD AND HIS FATHER.
-Revelation 1:6

"Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel,
that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth...
neither is there salvation in any other!
For there is NONE other name under heaven
given among men whereby we must be saved!"
-Acts 4:10-12

And Moses said unto GOD,
"Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them,
'The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you',
and they shall say to me, 'What is His name?" what shall I say unto them?"
And God said unto Moses,
"I AM THAT I AM. Thus shalt thou say
unto the children of Israel, 'I AM hath sent me unto you'"
Jesus answered,
"Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it, and was glad."
Then said the Jews unto Him,
"Thou art not yet fifty years old, and THOU hast seen Abraham?!"
Jesus said unto them, "Before Abraham was, I AM."
Then took they up stones to cast at Him...
Judas then, having received a band of men and officers
from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with
lanterns and torches and weapons.
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon Him,
went forth and said unto them, "Whom seek ye?"
They answered Him, "Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said unto them, "I AM."
And Judas also, which betrayed Him, stood with them.
As soon then as He had said unto them, "I AM,"
they went backward and fell to the ground!
-Exodus 3:13-14/John 8:56-59/John 18:3-6

The name "Jesus Christ" is the Greek form of the Hebrew "Yehoshua haMeshiach".
"Jesus/Yehoshua" means "Jehovah the Savior".
"Christ/Meshiach" means "Anointed One".
Thus the name Jesus Christ means "Jehovah the Savior the Messiah".
Jesus IS Jehovah, and there is no name higher than Jesus, not even the name Jehovah, as it is written that the name of Jesus is the "name which is above every name, that at the name of JESUS every knee should bow of things in heaven and things in the earth and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord," Philippians 2:9-11.
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God:
Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ [Jehovah the Savior the Messiah] hath come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God - and this is that spirit of antichrist...
1 John 4:2-3
God is a trinity, just as man is a trinity. Man is soul and body and spirit, made in the image of the Father and Son and Holy Spirit. It is written in Genesis 1 and 2, "And God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness... And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the earth [the body] and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life [the spirit] and man became a living soul [the soul]." Which is also confirmed in 1 Thessalonians 5:23, "I pray God your whole spirit AND soul AND body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." Our spirit is made in the image of the Holy Spirit, our body in the image of Jesus, and our soul in the image of the Father. Our body obeys the will of our soul by the power of our spirit, just as Jesus obeys the will of the Father by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the body of God come down to us, as it is written, in Him is the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Just as a soul and body and spirit is one man, the Father and Son and Holy Spirit is one God. Yet, just as the soul and body and spirit are unique and perform different functions, so too the Father and Son and Holy Spirit are unique and perform different functions. And like a man, who is created in God's image, no single part of the three can function or even exist without the other two. And Jesus asked about us to the Father at His last supper, that we may be one with Him even as He is one with the Father. And like two people who become one flesh in the act of marriage, we the Bride of Christ will BE ONE with God our Husband (Revelation 21, Jeremiah 31:32). Jesus is God the Son of God, and we, as the sons of God, will be joined as one and will reign with God as God, as Jesus said, "Know ye not they ye are gods?" and as King David said, "Ye are gods" and as Zechariah said "The House of David shall be as God." The son of God IS God. For what other reason do you think God gave His life to save us? We are His bride.

BEHOLD O ISREAL THE LORD OUR GOD
THE LORD IS ONE

In Jesus the one true God,
Rev. Jim
